I am really enjoying my new smoker. I cooked 450# of pork loin for a Man to Man Conference at the Victoria Community Center in August. I think the pit was the center of attention of the conference. On Labor Day I cooked brisket and sausage for 200 evacuees from hurricane Katrina for the local Jaycee chapter. We had to evacuate ourselves this past weekend. My wife took clothes, pictures, glassware, etc. and I took my pit (they said take anything that was important). I am attaching a copy of a picture I took when I was cooking the pork loin.

"Troy, here is a shot of our trailer, thaught you might like to see a better picture. Also I love the small smoker. If you have a chance check out our new web site. It is still under construction, but you can get the idea. I have not forgot your Chubby Bubby's Smokehouse Salsa, we still have not received it from the bottler, he had some kind of problem getting my jars. I will get it to you when it comes. I am sure you are busy too, but we are finding ourselves in Columbus Ind. the last couple of weeks, we did an art festival last weekend, and we are going back over the 4th. of July. to do a thing at Ceraland, in Columbus.

Last weekend at the art festival, the health inspector was a cool guy,who liked what we were doing, and also liked the trailer a lot, he has hooked us up with the guy at Ceraland, and it sounds like a cool day, ending up with fireworks that night. " -Ray Roberts

	"I have about 96 hours of cook time in so far with our grill. We are fatting-up the neighbors and loving every minute of it. Connie & I did the Oldham County BBQ contest this past weekend & had a blast. Our pulled pork actually got us an 8th place ribbon & enough cash to fill-up the Toyota with gas. You would have thought we won a million dollars-it as least felt that good to us.
Thanks for providing a great product. Connie & I are pleased 120%. Only real problem we had at the contest was all the people coming into our area wanting to look & learn about the grill. Everyone was wild about it. We even had a lot of the Pro's coming over telling us how much they liked it." -Sid L. Wibbels

"The day after my smoker arrived - I put it to work in "prime time". I did not have time to practice - first time I fired it up was for San Diego Republican Party with a live telecast. All went perfect. The ribs were perfect and Roger Hedcock was impressed with my Austin Smoker. You are a genius. Thanks." -Smokey Joe

"Just wanted to tell you how much I love my smoker! I think of you and your people every time I fire it up, and especially when we dig into those juicy ribs or brisket..."

"I have a 4-foot pit and I couldn't be happier with it. I can smoke an incredible volume of meat. The pit is remarkably efficient. The temperature remains constant over long periods of time. My only problem is not having more time to use it more."
-Ron Revard

"I purchased a 4ft. smoker from Austin National Smoker Company, about two seasons ago. Since that time I have cooked ribs, chicken, whole pork shoulder, pork butts, and turkey leg. I must say, everything turned out great. The cooker is easy to operate and it maintains temperature even in poor weather conditions. I very satisfied with my cooker from the Austin National Smoker Company; that is why I became a distributor. I recommend this product to anyone that want to take barbequing to the next level."
-Levern Williams

"I was quite surprised at how quickly I learned the little things that make the unit mine. I have done pork butts, ribs (both regular and baby back) brisket, chicken, chicken wings and I even roasted about 12 dozen ears of corn for an AMVETS function. The unit is amazing. I love the rotating shelves and the way I am able to maintain temperature. I made this purchase to have fun and maybe help some worthwhile causes. I have lived with my purchase close to a year now and can honestly say I bought the right cooker. I want to thank you for taking care of me and helping me with picking it up and everything."

"I purchased my smoker from Austin National Smokers last fall, after doing quite a bit of research on smokers in general. I decided to go with Austin National Smokers because of their unique features and ease of operation. They were very accommodating when I changed my specifications (twice), and also honest as not to sell me something that I did not need or want. He’s in this for the long run, and it shows.

I have been barbecuing and grilling all kinds of meat for better than 30 years. I now have the flavor that I have been looking for all of that time. Subtle sweet wood smoked flavor, not a bitter flavor that some pits can produce. On long smokes such as brisket or shoulder, I can even get a few hours sleep, because of the huge firebox, the rotisserie shelves, the moisture feature, and the even temperature throughout the pit." -Steve Creech

"My company recently purchased a smoker from your company. After several months of research we decided your smoker best met our needs and budget.

I prepared ribs and chicken for our annual Christmas party for the employees and it was a huge success. The owners of our company travel extensively and have eaten in some of the best 'BBQ Joints' in the country. They have never rated a 'TEN' to anyone, and they rated this BBQ a nine. I am a fairly good cook but not that good. Your smoker was the main reason for this successful dinner. The smoker was easy to operate and maintained a consistent temperature without us baby -sitting the unit, even in adverse weather conditions. We look forward to many years of great BBQ and owe that in part to your smoker and support. We are very satisfied with the results we are getting and I highly recommend your products to everyone who wants to take their 'Smokin' to a new level."

"We bought a 4ft model a couple of months ago and we have nothing but great things to say about it. It gets worked hard every week because its cooking 4 days between 12-14 hours each day and so far we not had any trouble. As far as temp control its like any other cooker you might purchase. You have to spend time with it and learn what it likes as far as wood/charcoal combinations. My only gripe is that I should have bought an 8ft to start with."
-Greg, Bluegrass BBQ

"We could not have the success we did at Clarksville without the reliability of our Austin National Smoker. We never strayed from our desired cooking temperature all night and that made our lives so much easier. Particularly we have to attribute our success in the Chicken category to the cooking class you hosted in February." -Chris, Wildcat BBQ First place winner in the chicken category in Clarksville, TN, April 2004
